1989 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport from North America - Comments

Bad alternator.

Brakes, tires, normal wear and tear.

I received this car from my cousin in the summer. It sat for about 4 months, and even then it started right up. It still starts up every time I need it too. Even though I hate it, and thinks it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen, it has been very faithful to me. It will probably never die. It amazes me how I can fly by people on the highway. That's the one thing I love about it the engine, and acceleration.

Obviously, you have never driven anything that really iS fast.

The Celebrity with the 2.8 is a toad.

I had a 2.8 multi port fuel injected V6. when I bought it, it was a toad, but if you do regular spark plug changes and make sure your spark plug wires are good, you should be awesome. My 2.8 was in a Pontiac 6000 LE.. it had a/c, Power windows and everything like that. With the new wires and spark plugs, this car was no toad. It wasn't the fastest thing on the road, but it managed to blow most other V6 chevs off the road. I did drag my cousins Bonneville 3.8 and it beat it. How can a car, that isn't firing properly, work properly?? so make sure this stuff is on there and doing its job and you will have a nice, smooth acelleration on these cars.

I have a 89 Chev Celebrity Wagon 2.8 V6 A/C, Auto. The A/C still works after so many years of operation. Replaced the alternator 2 after the second time installed a GM replacement and never had a problem since with it. I really like the power of this car, it does pull hard and will cruise with the fastest on the highway. It is dependable enough to be my family and as well my business car. I use it to travel to garages here on Vancouver Island helping Technicians diagnose problems on a lot of Asian vehicles, lol. I repair the computers for Asian cars as well. I work on so many asian vehicles, Yes, the japanese cars do break, and the cost of the parts..., I am happy with my Chev.

Even though they look slow the are actually pretty quick. on mine the muffler fell off about 1000 miles ago, sounds sweet now. It will keep up with my friend's 1970 delta 88 that has 455 in it. Yeah I know dosen't sound believable, but it does.

I now drive Mom's beloved Eurosport. She bought it new-used (a left-over demo) in 1989. This is one car that won't quit. It starts reliably and gets me to work every day. Amazingly, this car still gets good gas mileage! Mom's only complaint was that the paint peels away, requiring occasional "Maaco Make-overs." The body has been quite rust-free and hopefully the bottom won't drop out! When that happens, the Chevy and I will part company.
